I have a Mint Condition HTC One phone I am trying to sell - Mostly just because I also own a Nexus 4 and love it - and decided I'd rather keep it and use the money on the HTC One on something else.
I'm having a hard time selling it because the "everything is unlocked" is making people scared to buy it.
It's S-OFF, SuperCID, TWRP 2.6.0.1, Bootloader Unlocked, Running 2.24 Firmware and Android Revolution 12.1, Sim Unlocked too.
It's originally a Rogers Canada HTC One
Is there any way (or guide) to completely make it stock again to help sell it? Any help would be appreciated.
Yep, just flash the Rogers RUU (if available) and then you're good to go! If there isn't one then use one of the Nandroids provided and then get the stock recovery and relock the bootloader
don't forget to go back to S-ON after flashing the RUU

Hmm... never flashed a RUU before. Will need to do some reading.
Anyone know where to find a Rogers RUU?
I don't care if its Rogers specifically - it can be Telus or Bell too as long as it works.
I just want to go back to Stock so it's capable of updating OTA somehow if possible.

just download the RUU (sorry, don't know if there is one for your carrier), be sure to be s-off, and then run the RUU.exe or flash the RUU.zip.
the RUU will flash stock recovery, stock rom and i think it will even relock your bootloader. and then you'll be able to download OTA-updates again.
last step is to put it back to s-on and you should be done..
Ruu for bell. Rogers, telus is not available yet, your best bet is to flash the stock wwe Ruu. Remember to flash the stock hboot if you are using a modified hboot for the red lines or you would brick your device

I'm S-OFF using the Revone Method
I'm on firmware 2.24 and HBoot 1.54 (Still S-Off though)
If anyone has time, can somebody give me a real quick overview on what I need to do? I'll buy ya a beer!
I'm not real familiar with HTC Devices - This was my first experience and to be honest, Right now I'm wishing I didn't do this if I knew before hand I was going to flip it so fast.
Ok no problem
First download the RUU from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860
and run the .exe.
then you'll have stock hboot and stock recovery + stock rom.
After this you can use hasoon2000's toolkit to get back to s-on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
Be sure you never installed a custom hboot before and you are using a official hboot. Better check twice if the red warning text is there before you go s-on
And that's it
No beer needed, "thanks-button" is enough
Cheers

You cant run the RUU with Super CID. You will have to change it to one that matches the RUU you choose before running it, but keep s-off. Then you should be able to use the tool as mentioned above or do all the things manually. You can use my guide if you like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43458497
Thanks for the help.
Which specific RUU should I flash? I don't see a Generic WWE One in that thread - just a couple of WWE ones for Developer Editions. Should I use an AT&T one? I can change the CID back to whatever is needed.
Am I able to do this somehow with the Nandroid backup for Rogers in that thread?
Also - What do you mean by "check for the red lines" exactly? I am on HBoot 1.54, Is there a easy way of going back to 1.44?
Sorry for all the questions - I'm kinda annoyed there isn't a Rogers RUU available. Last thing I need is a bricked phone - I'm only selling it as I honestly I shouldn't have bought it to begin with (Financially)
Where are you going to try and sell it? If to another user in Canada with one of those carriers, then they wouldn't to buy the unit with a AT&T image on it, I would think.
However running the ATT one would be a very easy way to reset everything including the hboot (no worry about red lines if run the RUU). Then you could sell to a US buyer who is going to use ATT (Tmobile also has a RUU). My guide for reseting to ATT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43458497
There are some threads around here where users are resetting Rodgers back to stock but it is much harder without a RUU and I am not sure of your comfort level.
To use one of the Rodgers Nandroids to do a complete reset to stock I would:
Change the CID to CWS__001 and run the ATT RUU to reset all your firmware, hboot etc, back to stock. You will still have unlocked bootloader and s-off, so you can then change back to your stock CID and then use the fastboot command to boot (but not install) a custom recovery in order to restore the Rodgers Nandroid and then just relock and s-on. Should be 100% Rodgers stock.
Code:
fastboot boot yourcustomrecovery.img
You can only use this method to boot a recovery without installing it, if on hboot 1.44, so that is why I recommend using the RUU to downgrade all that stuff for you.
Let me know if you need more help. I'd be happy to guide you.

you could take the latest open europe RUU (RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7), or take an AT&T one.. don't really know which one would be better for your situation you'll know it better

this is also an option. you can flash this nandroid backup through cwm recovery. but then you'd have to manually install stock recovery and lock the bootloader/go back to s-on. why not :good:

you can stay on 1.54 if everything works fine after flashing the older firmware. the "warning text" is related to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316726
but if you've never installed a custom HBoot you don't have to worry about this when going back to s-on. just check once if the red warning text in the bootscreen is there.

Hey, I'm trying to do the same thing as OP, and this thread has been the closest thing to my issue. I'm trying to return everything on my phone to stock, however my Canadian carrier is Bell. Currently my HTC One has the bootloader unlocked, is rooted, TWRP recovery, and TrickDroid installed.
If I understand your instructions correctly, what I should do (given I want to restore using a nandroid backup) is:
1) S-Off my phone
2) Change the CID to CWS___001 and run the ATT RUU
3) Change the CID back to my original (BM_001 is what I think it is, do you know how I can make sure? What command to run for ADB?)
4) The Nandroid backup from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874&highlight=bell+update for my phone is for CWM (it's this one: M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID BM___001 / 1.29.666.5), does that mean I have to change my recovery from TWRP to CWM at this point?
5) Use fastboot to boot the recovery --> two questions regarding this, 1) why would I not install the .zip I downloaded from step 4? 2) where do I get the recovery.img? Just the one that is in the zip? In which case, shouldn't I also has to boot the boot.img or anything else?
6) I also want to upgrade the radio, should that be done last?
Thanks for all your help!
Lastly, I'm looking for a ROM to flash afterwards, I was wondering if you had any suggestions/know of a ROM that can allow me to use the swipe2sleep features, as well as hold the back touch button to force kill an app.
Just sell it on swappa. They love rooted unlocked modded phones.
So I'm trying to flash a new RUU for GPE HTC One Jelly Bean 4.3. The RUU is suppose to work for unlocked devices; the person who posted the download links had two, with one for unlocked devices and the other for locked devices. I think I messed up somewhere because I had a custom kernel installed via .zip, then booted back to the stock GPE kernel with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"; the system booted up fine but the 3 dot menu was missing so I went back to the customer kernel. The system wouldn't get past the Google screen and now I'm trying to flash the RUU but it won't work. If I do it on my computer via commands, I get "<bootloader> zip info parsing," then "FAILED <remote: 99 unknown fail>". So now I'm in TWRP recovery with the RUU on my SD card; tried flashing it on my phone and it says "Updating partition details...", "E: unable to mount ' /data'", "E: unable to mount internal storage", E: unable to mount ' /data," then lastly "Error flashing zip." I wiped the cache, data, and system; it won't wipe the Dalvik cache and gives me the same error when I do it. Can someone help me?
Edit: When I also try to wipe via "fastboot -w" it comes up with an error saying "FAILED <remote: not allowed>.
You need S-off to ruu to another firmware that's not made for your particular model/carrier.
Once you s-off enter fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
(Firmware.zip being the actually name of the ruu zip)
It will begin to flash, then fail and say to flush image immediately. Simply press the "up" arrow on keyboard to repeat the exact same command. It will work the second time.
For some reason fastbooting a ruu in that mode always fails the first time, so you have to do it twice without exiting.
Good luck and enjoy

May be the alcohol but I'm having trouble keeping up lol. You're having questions with the hboot trying to s-off? If you can't s-off, nor ruu BC the firmware doesn't match with the most recent ruu then you may be stuck or hopefully someone with more advanced knowledge can help you a little better

For some reason Google firmware will flash on certain s-on phones when it shouldn't. First we need to know if this happened.
When booted into the boot loader, is the screen black or white?
Now if there's an RUU available for your cid and mid (an official ruu.exe not an unsigned zip) that is greater than the firmware version currently on the phone, flashing that will fix everything.
If not, head over to original android development and grab a GPE ROM ( you could also use sense or AOSP, but I'm assuming you want GPe) and attempt to flash the ROM in recovery just like you normally would.

So basically I accidentally put security back on BEFORE flashing back to stock so now I'm stuck here. The bootloader screen is black and since I upgraded to HBoot 1.54 via OTA update for stock Jelly Bean when I was S-Off, there is no compatible HBoot for me since the one for T-Mobile is 1.44 currently. My biggest worries right now is that I screwed something up with the partitions or if there's a bigger issue here because it's saying it can't mount the data and SD card, and I can't even wipe the phone via commands. If it's just the CID, MID, and HBoot not matching, then I'm not worried since I can still flash a custom ROM right?

This is why going back to s-on is almost always a bad idea. You can't flash any unsigned RUUs or firmware packages now, so you can't return your phone to stock.
It sounds like you may have corrupted your sdcard during all this. Try reformatting it from your PC. This will wipe all your data, but if it's corrupted, it's gone anyway. Then you can push a new rom and kernel and flash.

So even if T-Mobile releases an RUU with HBoot 1.54, I can't go back to stock? And how do I reformat it on my PC? CMD? And can you recommend me a ROM that's closest to stock Sense 5? And do I flash the ROM first or the kernel? Sorry about all the questions; I'm just freaking out right now.

You still have an unlocked bootloader right?
Then I would just flash a custom recovery and "format sdcard" from there.
Then "adb push Rom.zip /sdcard/" (or sideload) and flash the Rom.
I personally use ARHD 13.x which is very close to stock Sense 5.
ROMs already include a kernel, so no need to flash separately.

Personal preference. Why don't you try both. 13.x is based on official 4.2.2 and 21.x is based on leaked 4.3 (but still very good)
Just note on 21.0 you have to enter APN settings manually to get mobile data & mms, and there's a bug which won't let you access SIM card contacts.

You can't use unsigned RUUs. If T-Mo releases a RUU with 1.54 or later hboot, then yes, you should be able to use it (unless you changed your MID or CID).

Well it's a good thing I changed my CID back to T-MOB010 before I put security back on then... I had SuperCID so not like it would've mattered... But thanks for the good news!

It does actually work, just seems very sensitive to OS, USB ports, drivers, (possibly even locale), etc.
Recommend you use a plain vanilla Win7 PC with USB2 port.

I have also been unable to use any of the 4.xx RUU... They worked once but none of them work now. Anyway I just wanted to say I also created a Guru Reset for the 5.21.502.2 (AT&T) here >> http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358545274 to go along with the files posted by @TeHashX
The only thing i can think of was the hboot prevents it now but i wasnt going to play with that. I personally went to 4.xx to get away from sense 6
Is there any other maybe older stock ROM i can try ?
I tried 1.29.401.x and that failed too. There was a note with the download saying you need to flash hboot 1.44 which i didn't bother with.
Hello everyone,
I've been trying to get back to stock on my Sprint HTC One. I have tried using the RUU in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795856 and no luck. I am HBoot 1.55, S-ON, and running a stock rooted rom that is on 4.4.2
So here is what I tried. I relock my bootloader and proceed to run the RUU, but 2 times I get stuck on 4% so I have no luck. I tried getting S-Off and maybe that could help me bring back to stock, but that did not work either. Really need to get this phone back to Stock, any help is appreciate it, no one responded in that thread so I'm asking here. Thanks in advance.
You'll need to flash the Full Firmware first.
If it still gets stuck try a different USB Port...USB 2 work best or try a different PC.

That is what the video at the bottom of the first post on that thread is about, correct?
Don't I have to be S-Off for that? It says on the video that I have to, and I am not.

Use This Firmware
You will need to re-lock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock)
Flash firmware (follow the video)
Run the RUU and you will be back to stock.
You do not need to be s-off to do either.

Did you re-lock your bootloader?
Is the firmware in your adb/fastboot/platform tools folder?

Yes sir. Relocked, only that at the top it says "security warning." I renamed the folder to firmware.zip and it is on the platform tools folder. Did all the commands, but the second time I run the same command (like it says on the video) it gives me the error I mentioned and I don't even get the loading bar on the phone. Tried 3 times, no luck.

I am actually having the same issue as described above, and cannot for the life of me figure out what I did wrong.
Any insight?

So Hboot 1.55, S-ON, and can't go back to stock?
Go to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658910
Download that RUU. Now, go into fastboot and relock your bootloader. Flash the firmware on that thread through fastboot, there's a video there showing you how. After that is done, go back to fastboot and you can run the RUU you downloaded from that thread. That's what I did and worked like a charm. Recommended if you use USB 2.0

Hi. You mean flash 4.06.651.4 version at first and then flash 5.05.651.2 version ? Is it update HBOOT from 1.55 to 1.56? What about warning message on that thread "***IMPORTANT NOTE*** you must first update your hboot to 1.56 to flash this 4.06 RUU, see full firmware below ( I recommend being s-off before doing so)"
I have. Hboot 1.55, S-on, Custom ViperOne 7.0.1

Just flash firmware 4.06.651.4 (you'll be on hboot 1.56) and then run that RUU. Don't worry about 5.05.651.2 firmware or RUU.
Make sure you relock your bootloader before anything.
Whenever the RUU is done and you're back in stock, you'll get the OTAs to 5.05.651.2, just telling you exactly what I did that worked, I also had a lot of trouble getting back to stock/unrooting.

Hi guys,
I have soft bricked my device and currently the only way I see out of this is to flash RUU but then my version is way too high than the RUU available on the internet I've gone through. My current version is 4.20.707.7 but so far I've only found 1.29.707.3 the highest RUU version available on the internet.I have SuperCID but device is currently relocked and S-ON. I tried flashing other region's RUU which has higher version than mine believing the fact that I can flash it because I have SuperCID but I failed and received an error 155 which I searched and it means I'm using the wrong RUU. So I guess I can't flash other region's RUU and have to stick with my current region's.
Question:
1) Is it possible to flash the same version of RUU with the device?
2) Is it possible to flash other region's RUU if I have S-OFF? If yes, I only have access to fastboot and recovery and as far as I know, you only can S-OFF with a working homescreen, so how do I S-OFF while I only have access to fastboot and recovery?
If yes, does anyone have RUU for version 4.20.707.7 ( my current version ) or above?
If no, does anyone have RUU for version above 4.20.707.7?
Please help. Replies are much appreciated. Thank you And sorry for the tiny misleading information on the title. My current version is 4.20.707.7 not 4.20.707.6.

Yes, with s-on you can flash same or newer ruu version to your phone as long that it match your MID/CID + Firmware base (x.xx.707.x)
Yes you can flash other region RUU if s-off. You might need to change your CID and MID which can be done from fastboot (CID) and from recovery (MID). You can flash a close to stock rom like arhd to achieve s-off.
If yes, does anyone have RUU for version 4.20.707.7 ( my current version ) or above?
If no, does anyone have RUU for version above 4.20.707.7?

Many option for you.
You can restore the 4.20.707.7 version using the 4.20.707.7 stock reset rom (to be flashed in custom recovery)
You can flash the 7.21.707.5 ruu but in order to do that, your phone firmware must be at least 6.xx.707.x or 7.xx.707.x so it will requires to flash one of these firmware before the ruu.
Honestly I would simply flash the 4.20.707.7 reset rom, simple to do. When installing the rom, select "yes" to stock recovery and radio. Select "no" for root. when flashed, take all ota updates until you are on latest (7.21.707.5). From there you can flash a custom recovery and root if you want and returning back to stock from this point (if something else happen) will be as simple as flashing the 7.21.707.5 ruu.

Hey man, thanks for the useful information. I flashed the 4.20.707.7 reset ROM and did what you have told me but then the problem in the end is still the same as flashing other ROMs ( custom and stock ). The problem will be after unlocking the screen, green HTC logo appears and stays there for quite some time while dialer keeps crashing from time to time, and after few minutes, reboots by itself. This cycle will go on forever. Any advice ? Thanks again bro.

Looks like an hardware problem. Is your phone still having an IMEI # when doing "fastboot getvar all" ?
